Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion FoLC Productions New here ~ made wallpaper + some icons

Hi all,

I've been downloading and watching all the music videos and trailers for a while now, and I really enoy them, so good work you guys!

My reason for finally joining, is that I've started making some L&C fanart. I've been working on a new L&C website (I've got the design, but the content is a loooot of work), and I needed some stuff to fill up the fanart section. So while I was on vacation, I created some things.

First, I tried a wallpaper. Keep in mind, this is my first real wallpaper EVER. I made two versions: I personally like the one without the 'S' better. Click on pic for bigger version (1024x768). If someone wants the 800x600 version => just ask



I also made my first icons. The 'MINE'-one was my first attempt .

And...




This last one was a real quickie, and was made to celebrate the news of L&C DVD's coming to Europe.
And to spread this good news through MSN



Enjoy

I think they are great!! Keep up the good work! I have no idea how to make wallpapers or icons, so kudos to you.

Those are awesome! Are we allowed to use any of those icons? I have one in particular that I really love.

Very cool!

good work

Sure, you can use any of the icons.
That's why I posted them

Hmm...no.

You mean I don't have to constrain myself to 75x95 anymore? Woohoo!!!!


Thanks, El! That made my day!!!!

Oh, I didn't know about icon restrictions here

I originally made them to be compatible with MSN. Although to be really compatible with MSN, it's best to use 96x96 instead of 100x100 because MSN resizes it to 96x96 anyway. A while ago, I resized a photo of myself to 100x100, but when I tried it out in MSN, one eye was bigger than the other one! So after a lot of teasing from a friend, I measured the right size and came up with 96x96. And the eye problem was fixed

Now I don't know if I should make all my icons 96x96 or 100x100. 100x100 seems more general I think. But 100x100 icons do look a bit different in MSN. The text can be a little unsharp.

What are the dimensions of icons in other instant messaging programs? Then I could make icons for those programs as well and stop discrimenating certain users

Aww, you're welcome, Anna.

How do I use one of the 100X100 icons? I try to use one and it gets resize to 48X48

Yeah, it was a pretty funny sight. This is how it looked:


(I made this pic for a blog post)

As you can see, sometimes a few pixels can make a great difference. You all have been warned

A friend of mine kept teasing me with it. He even stole my avatar, used Paint to make me an eye patch, coloured one tooth black, put 'HAAARRR!!' beneath it and used that as his avatar! And in our MSN conversations, he kept typing 'HAAAAAARRR!!!!' (Pirate talk). Boys! :rolleyes:

It was aggravating, but at the same time also funny


Where did you want to use it? And how did you try it?

I wanted to use it for this board, and I uploaded it to imageshack and when I paste the link it resizes the icon

I've never used imageshack, so I don't know a lot about it.

But what link did you copy/paste? The one to the thumbnail of the image or the one to the full image?

It's for the full image, maybe I'm doing something wrong when I put it in my profile

I don't know about imageshack, but you could use Irfanview to resize your pics and Photobucket to upload them. Both are free.

Thanks, I finally figured it out
